Driveways

Driveways

At Premier Paving, we believe your driveway, the first image people may have of your property should be of the highest quality.

Most new driveways look good when they are first laid, but it’s not until later on that the quality really starts to show. We install driveways that are made to last, our driveways will not shift or subside as soon as you start to use it.  In just a few days, we can dramatically change the appearance and the value of your property with style. We use a wide range of contempory and cobbled paving blocks, in many shapes, sizes and colours

All of our driveways are excavated to a depth of 250mm, thats 50mm deeper than most driveway companies. We then lay a geotextile membrane on the sub-soil to the total area of  the driveway, this will prevent the sub-soil and the sub-base intermixing, and causing any weakness in the sub-base.

Next we lay a sub-base of M.O.T type 1, which gets compacted down to create a solid base that disperses the weight placed on the drive more efficiently than any other form of sub-base material.

Then a bedding layer of sharp sand is applied, compacted and screeded to the levels required. The blocks of your choosing are then laid on top of the screeded sand, and all edges that are not retained by solid walls are bedded on and backed up with concrete to retain the bedding layer and to prevent the edge blocks shifting. We then brush kiln dried sand between the blocks for added stability, your new driveway is then compacted again and all excess sand swept off.

We can also enhance the look of your new drive with impressive effects such as decorative kerbs, planters and steps.

All our driveways come with a full 10 year guarantee giving you complete peace of mind.
